(Bolognano, every year many families put up crib scenes all over the village. I was late getting this photograph processed. If you notice, there is no "baby" in the crib yet.)
The above haiku was written for Carpe Diem Haiku Special. Here is the last inspirational haiku of December 2014, dedicated to Richard Wright
keep straight down this block,
then turn right where you will find
a peach tree blooming

Very sweet!
ReplyDeleteIn my mother's creche we didn't add the crib until Christmas Eve ---
Very European! Same happens often over here ... but with the modern prefab creches seems the baby is not removable!
DeleteMom's wasn't either --- but hey -- we did what we could with what we had :)
